Chapter 245: The magnificent sea of lantern flowers and the terrifying demon forest hidden deep un
"Wow! This is so beautiful!" When night fell, the five people, led by the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, came to a brilliant field of lantern flowers. Yun Bai immediately jumped into the boundless sea of glittering lantern flowers like a fish entering the sea. Mu Yun, Xiaohua and Zhao Hongshan followed closely behind. Although they knew that there would be no danger here, they habitually did not let her out of their sight.
According to the alliance's management regulations for the flower fields, anyone can enter the outer flower fields to visit and enjoy, but they cannot take away even a single weed. As for the core area, it will not be open to the public. Even if you have a special pass token, you must undergo a strict inspection before entering.
If anyone dares to steal a lantern flower or a lantern fruit, he will have to pay ten times its value, and will be imprisoned for theft according to the grade of the stolen plant, with labor ranging from one year to a hundred years. There is an alliance law enforcement team guarding this place all year round, and the team leader is an eighth-grade spiritual warrior with nine-star cultivation. In addition, with the alliance as a big backer, even a lawless and ambitious family like the Xiao family dare not easily take advantage of this place.
The flower field is very large, so although there are countless visitors, once you enter the field, you will be immediately overwhelmed by the sea of flowers and light, and you won't feel crowded at all. Since entering here, Yun Bai has been using his magical powers to establish a connection and maintain communication with these tall and beautiful lantern flowers. Others are walking around randomly, but Yun Bai has the flowers to lead the way, so wherever they pass, there are the most flowers, the brightest light, and the most abundant spiritual power. Even the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family noticed something unusual, and they sighed repeatedly that they had been here countless times before, but this time was the best. Not only did they see the most beautiful scenery, but they also clearly felt that their bodies were nourished by the rich spiritual power, which made their cultivation slightly improved. You know, they are not in a state of cultivation now, and just strolling here can promote their cultivation. Although there is only a tiny bit of progress, it is really precious.
Although Yun Bai seemed to be completely immersed in the dreamlike and beautiful scenery, she was actually always communicating with the lantern flowers to get first-hand information about the place - she also hoped to find some wild lantern flowers so that she could collect more good materials for alchemy for her senior. Because of their status as Tianlan students, the five of them were lucky enough to get a pass to enter the core flower fields that were not open to the public. The flower fields in the core area were all lantern flowers of grade six or above, and nearly 30% of them were colorful lanterns, which were many times higher in quality than the peripheral flower fields.
"Hello, Xiaobai, welcome!" Yunbai had already received countless warm welcomes before entering the core area of the flower field. These high-grade lantern flowers can already express and communicate clearly, which also allows Yunbai to feel their enthusiasm more intuitively. And while she was chatting with the lantern flowers, she accidentally discovered an amazing secret!
"Xiaobai, I have a vague feeling that something terrible is going to happen here!" In the center of the flower field, an eighth-grade colorful lantern that was ten meters tall and had hundreds of red, green, and blue flowers in bloom conveyed information to Yunbai.
"Sancai, don't be anxious, tell me what's going on?" Sancai is the name of this eighth-grade fantasy colorful lantern. Yun Bai could feel its deep worry and uneasiness from this information, so he comforted it and asked with concern.
"You should have heard that an area in the shade of the mountains was contaminated some time ago. Although humans quickly took measures to control the infection in time, and I heard from other companions that most of the plant and animal companions who were not seriously infected have successfully recovered, but--" Sancai mentioned the "infected" area, which was the evil and alienated area. It paused halfway through, and then changed to an uncertain tone before continuing: "But I don't know why, I always feel that kind of-how do you humans describe it-yes, creepy! I always have a creepy feeling! And that feeling comes from underground!"
"Creepy!" Yun Bai was also shocked after hearing this, and immediately asked anxiously: "You said that feeling came from underground, is there any sign or evidence?"
"No, I'm of the highest rank here, and my roots are the deepest. So I can feel it more acutely. Other companions don't have this feeling yet! That feeling is cold, cruel, crazy, greedy... In short, it's very scary!" When Sancai described the "creepy" feeling, his emotions also fluctuated, and Yunbai could clearly feel his fear and anxiety.
"Don't worry, Sancai. We are here this time to carry out follow-up recovery work in the infected area. Thanks to your reminder, maybe it can help us discover a huge hidden danger in advance!" Yun Bai said as he input a stream of soul energy into Sancai to help it calm its violent emotional fluctuations.
"Okay! I vaguely feel that it is two thousand meters deep underground, and it may be at least six hundred miles away from here, probably in the northwest direction, that is, in the inner ring of the mountain." After receiving the soul support from Yun Bai, Sancai suddenly felt a warm current surrounding his body, and the whole plant was warm, and the cold and uneasy feeling disappeared immediately. Even the hundreds of tricolor flowers on its flower stems became more vivid and brighter! Sancai immediately became cheerful and happily conveyed a message to Yun Bai: "Thank you, Xiaobai! But be careful!" It thanked Yun Bai for sending it a large amount of precious soul power and helping it get rid of the troubles of various negative emotions, and also thanked her for being willing to trust it without any conditions - even if it itself could not confirm whether this elusive feeling was real and credible.
After receiving Sancai's information, Yun Bai did not dare to take it lightly. She knew that spiritual plants were generally very sensitive and often more reliable than human senses - it was more like an intuition, without basis, but terrifyingly accurate. She immediately communicated with the other four partners about this matter, wanting to discuss with everyone what to do next.
"We have been here for a while. Brother Shaowei and Sister Yunli must have other things to do. Why don't we go back today and come back when we have the chance?" After Yun Bai sent a message to the four people, Wang Xiaoqiang pondered for a moment and smiled at the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family not far away. It was about time for the two to go back to practice, so he led everyone back.
After Yun Bai and the other four returned to the inn, Mu Yun first cast a protective barrier, and then they began to discuss the next plans and arrangements.
"No matter what, we don't have any evidence now, and it's not a good idea to report it to the school or the alliance rashly. After all, we can completely trust Xiaobai, but the alliance will not easily take the words of us students seriously. So, I suggest that we go and investigate tomorrow. Even if there is only a little clue, we can speak up." Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.
"Well, I agree! Once we get close to that place, I can use my magical powers to establish a connection with the surrounding spiritual plants, and then I will be able to get more useful information!" Yun Bai said.
“Okay, then let’s go over there early tomorrow morning to take a look. But Xiaobai - you must put your own safety first. We cannot let a situation like the one in the Chaos Forest happen again this time.” Mu Yun was a little worried that Yun Bai would be “taken away” by the high-level spiritual plants like last time.
"Don't worry! This time I will just take my sister with me. Even if there are other powerful spiritual plants, they won't take us both away easily!" Xiaohua promised. Everyone laughed when they heard her say that. And soon, they were about to see a terrifying scene that they had never imagined!
